Opinion 21

One wonders, after some hundred plus years of industrialization and wars waged with its fruits, not only at the damage done to humans, but the incalculable damage done to human nature. For every life snuffed out by progress, Life itself has been muted. We live now in a state very blind and unfeeling to the potential fullness of human nature. It is as if something very thick and very evil is waging war against what God offers in the incarnation. The hope and the work of a well-intentioned yet grossly unthoughtful society has left it with a gun against its own head, trigger in its hand, inching closer to a final act of destruction.
